Greetings, O Learned Ones:

Leslie and I are having troubles with our... um... lower posteriors. We had been using "Seattle Sports" seats made for sit-on-tops, and they really worked well in concert with the molded-in seats our plastic boats had. But on the flat bottom Mill Creeks, they give us a... well... flat bottom, you might say. Or in other words, three or four hours in them will cause us to tell everything we know, and sing like birds in general.

I am resigned that I must now make form-fitting seats. But I would very much like to avoid the expense of genuine mini cell. So I throw it out to this board: has anyone any great ideas for making seats on the cheap... that provide reasonable comfort for hours on, ahem, end? Or should I just bite the bullet and cough up the dough for the real deal? Thanks!

Cheers,
Kurt & Leslie
